MTG Triggered by Latest 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Episode

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was beyond triggered by the new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

In an lengthy tirade posted to X on Tuesday, Greene said the newest episode is an example of why most “Georgian’s [sic] resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits.”

Greene said that the episode, which takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, “painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and red necks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud.”

The episode Greene is complaining about, titled “The Lawn Jockey,” continues a plot line from the Season 12 premiere, in which protagonist Larry David goes to jail for giving a bottle of water to a person waiting in line to vote. In doing so, he unknowingly violates Georgia’s Election Integrity Act, which makes it illegal to distribute food or drinks to those in line to cast their ballot. “I was being cordial,” David cried as he’s dragged away by police officers. He describes the law, that many have criticized as voter suppression, as “barbaric.”

When news of David’s accidental activism goes viral, celebrity support pours in, including from Stacey Abrams herself.

There will be sneers and Snickers. She'll either pee her panties or walk out of the Senate Chambers in anger because she DEMANDS to be taken seriously.

Oh poor Marjie!

Somewhere I have my official California Commie membership card. They even taught me the secret handshake.

Someday I may even get invited to an exciting reading of volume III of Das Kapital with Adam Schiff!
